Can someone explain more about hormone therapy for before and after tummy tuck, liposuction, etc.?

Your safety is always the number one priority during surgery. Hormone replacement therapy, including birth control pills, are associated with increased risk of blood clot formation during a tummy tuck. For this reason your surgeon may ask you to stop taking these medications prior to surgery. It is important to review all medications you take including prescription, non prescription, and supplements. Your surgeon will advise which, if any need to be stopped prior to surgery.

Dear besos4all,,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Most plastic surgeons will ask their patients to stop taking hormones prior to surgery. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Use of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of blood clots and typically patients are advised to stop taking these one month prior to liposuction.
Because vaginal estrogens fall into the general category of estrogen therapies, there is some controversy in their safety before surgery. Premarin vaginal cream only produces a localized effect so very little is absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore it is less likely to cause the unwanted side effects associated with oral hormone replacement therapy.
If the patient has an IUD with a hormonal component, removal may be considered to reduce the risk for venous clots. This should be considered on a case by case basis. You will need to clear this with the board certified plastic surgeon who performs your BBL and your gynecologist.
